Your baby’s brain nearly DOUBLES in size their first year and more than 1 MILLION neural connections are forming every second. 🤯 Yet no one talks about how their nutritional needs change with it.

Around 6 months, their iron stores begin to decline at the exact time their brain and body are rapidly developing.

So instead of asking “What should my baby eat first?” ask: “What nutrients does my baby need right now?”

🧠 Brain development → choline + healthy fats
🩸 Growth + blood → iron + B12
💪 New movement + muscles → protein + zinc

One of my easiest first foods: cooked egg yolk + grass-fed butter + breast milk or formula.

Starting solids isn’t just about learning to eat. It’s about filling the nutritional gaps created by rapid growth.

He’s a newborn!!! 👶

Your baby’s brain nearly DOUBLES in size during the first year—with more than 1 MILLION neural connections forming every second. 🤯

And around 6 months, the iron stores they were born with are starting to decline… right when their growing brain and body need key nutrients.

So why are we only talking about rice cereal?

🧠 Brain + nervous system → choline + healthy fats
🩸 Blood + growth → iron + B12
💪 Muscles + movement → protein + zinc

One easy first food: soy egg yolk + grass-fed butter + breast milk or formula. (In my guide I share the exact brands I trust)

Starting solids isn’t just about getting baby to eat- it’s about filling the nutritional gaps created by rapid development.

38 🎂 I’m so grateful for my family and our health. I know one day I will look back on these years and think those were the days, because they are. These are the days. 🙏❤️🥹
Justin Levine I love you so much and never felt closer to you. You and our family is everything. I’m so grateful for all my family and friends that reached out, it probably means more to me than the average person, birthdays have always been special to me. 38 is gonna be a good one 🥰

You’re told rice cereal is the perfect first food… but something in your mom brain goes, wait, is this really the most nutritious thing I can give my baby? 🤔

That was me.

I didn’t just want foods my baby could eat. I wanted to know which foods would give her the most nutrition in those tiny bites during such a huge window of growth.

Iron-rich foods. Healthy fats. Choline. Zinc. B12. Nutrient-dense foods like meat, eggs, fish, liver and bone marrow.

Because when they eat so little, every bite is an opportunity to nourish them.

I put exactly what I feed my baby + how I serve it into my Baby’s First Foods Guide so you don’t have to spend hours figuring it out yourself.
